I’ve loved chocolate brownies for the longest time ever so it is not a surprise, really, when I baked one for my birthday and almost finished the whole lot myself. Hey, I did say almost…so I am not all that greedy. There were some left for The Food Critic and Mr Picky. Anyway, I found the Best Ever Chocolate Brownie recipe over at Recipes2Share and since it is pretty simple, I thought I might as well bake it as a treat for myself. Heck, I did turn older and eating chocolate brownies is very, very comforting. So, I pigged . . . → Read More: I baked my own birthday cake which is not a cake but the best ever chocolate brownie

For the longest time, I have always, always loved a type of rich, thick chocolate truffles I know as chocolate rum ball. I used to buy it from a bakery near my home when I was younger and then later, the bakery closed down. Over the years, I would search bakery after bakery for my favourite chocolate rum ball but I’d never get to find any that’s as good as the ones sold by the bakery I used to frequent as a child.
Sigh.
It struck me recently that I could make my own chocolate rum ball. I could . . . → Read More: Easy chocolate truffles
It’s been awhile since I baked a flourless chocolate cake so recently, I decided to bake one. Mainly because I owe it to a diabetic friend who’s been drooling after this cake ever since I told her about the recipe! This is what made her pester me day and night to make it just for her.
So, late one night, I got down to baking this cake just for her. Since she’s diabetic and can’t take too much sweet stuff, I cut down on the sugar used and I substituted granulated sugar with brown sugar. I also used . . . → Read More: Rich Dark Flourless Chocolate Cake
Do you ever get that sudden chocolate cookie craving which simply must be fulfilled, otherwise you feel all so irritable and down and depressed?
Well, I get that A LOT. Not because I am a very depressing person. Or that I eat loads of comfort food. But it is usually due to that time of the month when I’d have a sudden high craving for carbs and it would definitely be chocolate! And cookies. I am a cookie monster through and through.
First, before I start, let me write something about The Food Critic aka My Personal Chef and his hate-hate relationship with desserts.
He hates most desserts. Cakes, pies, cookies and yes *gasp* even chocolates. Which explains his difficulty in putting on weight.
So, each time I decided to bake something, I’d end up eating the whole lot. Every. Single. Time. Which explains my difficulty in losing weight.
And then, there were some changes. He suddenly starts eating some of the desserts I made. Maybe it’s because of the frosty silence I had whenever I offered him some piping hot . . . → Read More: The one post when apples aren’t low-calorie and healthy
Not a serious-life-and-death emergency but a completely different kind! I was hit by a sudden craving for chocolate cake. So, what do I do?
Well, I went on over to Jessie’s blog for her 5 minute chocolate cake recipe and also checked out this recipe at Dizzy Dee’s blog. I simply must try out one of the recipes. I chose Dizzy Dee’s recipe first.
And in typical Foong-style, I messed up changed it a bit and substituted some of the ingredients and changed my mind and decided to also use Jessie’s recipe.
